How much do you like James Bond? It's a heavy question posed by the 007 First Light Collector's Edition from Hitman studio IO Interactive. At a whopping $299.99 on PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, the game's Legacy edition puts a high price on premium Bond collectibles, with an actual Golden Gun chief among them.
IO Interactive shared the 007 First Light release date and pre-order information earlier today, with the $300 Collector's Edition as the tip of the pyramid. It actually comes with the game – a depressingly rare inclusion for pricey editions today – but doesn't include the digital-only 24-hour pre-order early access.

For your $300, you're mostly paying for the Golden Gun figurine, which comes with five golden bullets and a decorative gold plaque to slot into the foam-lined, embossed display case.

Legacy edition exclusives also include a steel case for the game, an in-game Golden Gun weapon skin, and an "obsidian gold suit" to fill in for that missing tuxedo skin. Is all of that worth $300? That's up to you, and with "limited stock" on the Legacy edition, you may want to decide soon before the scalpers snap 'em up and make that eye-watering $300 price tag look like child's play.
